Learn from the experiences of recent participants. 

I love this content and the approach to learning. I particularly appreciate the practical application and data dig that is different from other Science of Reading trainings I’ve taken. I've been using Science of Reading: The Podcast as my PD for years so I appreciate how it was an embedded resource in the learning modules.

Educator, Maine

The Foundations to the Science of Reading online course is great. It helps you build background knowledge on how students learn how to read, and then it goes deeper and it gives you strategies that correlate with those findings that you can implement right into your classroom. If you want to walk away feeling successful with helping kids read, take this course!
